Howdy, all.
I've read a bunch of posts about oil pressure problems due to warped pump plates. Been thinking about tearing our Super A down and fixing it, but I'd like to know what y'all think about the pressure I'm getting. 45psi cold and 15psi hot, maybe 20psi throttled all the way up. (And that's read on a real guage, not guesstimated.) What do you say-- time to pull it apart, or is it good to go?

Thanks,
Darren

I've heard that "Half a gauge wide open" is acceptable on the letter series Farmalls, provided they have the original gauge.

I have a 1940 (a) with a freshly rebuilt engine, although I replaced everthing except for the oil pump, and mine carries about 20 lbs when fully warmed up, I think that your good to go.

Darren: Yours is probably stiil in the top half of the Super A's still operating. I wouldn't touch a thing.

Thanks, Hugh and Lee.
That was exactly what I was looking for. It runs like a top, so I won't touch it for fear of really 'fixing' it. Y'all have a nice week.
